CPU is still not K-series, so you can not overclock as much as chip is capable of. But your motherboard allows limited overclocking, up to ~3.8Ghz. If you are using stock Intel cooler- It might be worth to get a better one, as stock one is probably not good enough. Nothing expensive is needed, CM Evo 212 would be perfect:

As for the overclocking itself- you need to enter bios, set CPU ratio multiplier to 'manual' and increase ratio multiplier by +4, for turbo clock of 37x100MHz=3.7GHz. You can also overclock system bus (BCLK) little: it can probably be overclocked to up to 103-105MHz, for 37x103MHz=3.8GHz or so. This is not a high overclock for Ivy Bridge processor, so you most likely do not need to increase voltages for this- stock voltages should be sufficient.
